I know GIMP and OpenOffice Draw can both easily supplant Adobe Photoshop, but what about Dreamweaver? Is there any FOSS alternative that is at least as full-featured as GIMP?
View 5 RepliesGiven the recent dealings between Skype and Microsoft (here), one can guess that Linux support will be dropped. It wasn't amazing, but it ran. Moreover, security of transmitted data, in my own opinion, will be more questionable as of this acquisition.
What are the alternatives? If there are no full solutions - I propose the unification of several partial solutions into a merged FOSS project. I recommend a secure chat/video client with SIP capabilities and native ports for Linux Console, X, and FreeDos.
I've read through others posts about installing Dreamweaver with WINE, but want to know what everyone here recommends. I see Quanta and Bluefish are pretty popular but haven't tried either one. Is it better to just use Dreamweaver or one of the alternatives?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there any FOSS image editor in the Ubuntu repositories that is capable of saving .SVG files?
I currently have GIMP. I can open an SVG file just fine. But when I go to save it, GIMP thinks the file is a new one. When I click "Replace", an error pops up "The following file does not have a known file extension". I want to know if there is an FOSS image editor that will write SVG files, not just read them.
My co-worker and I are working on this robotics project where robots are controlled over the web. I don't want to go into all the details, but basically the users visit a page where they have access to a PHP-based interface that allows them to send commands to robots in our tech lab (via an intermediate server). Our web server is running Apache.
Anyway, now we need to implement session control, with user-names and passwords so that only certain people can have access to the interface at a certain time, with access to only certain robots, et cetera. We were hoping there was some kind of pre-fab FOSS solution for handling both the session control and maintaining the MySQL user/password database.
My co-worker knows a little PHP, and I know a little MySQL, but we are both noobs enough that we would prefer to do as little of this from scratch as is possible. We don't have a lot of time, and I know it is easy for inexperienced MySQL programmers to introduce security vulnerabilities.
I am looking for a good HTML editor that is similar to dreamweaver but for ubuntu.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have multiple noisy photos (caputed without tripod) that needs to be adjusted (moved/rotated) and averaged.
How it's better to do it in Linux with FOSS console-based programs?
Current way is something like:
mplayer mf://*.JPG -vo yuv4mpeg:file=qqq.yuv
transcode -i qqq.yuv -y null -J stabilize=maxshift=500:fieldsize=100:fieldnum=6:stepsize=50:shakiness=10
transcode -i qqq.yuv -J transform=smoothing=100000:sharpen=0:optzoom=0 -y raw -o www.yuv
Update: Experimented with "Hugin". It only distorted all photos according some "projection" and refused to merge them: enblend: excessive overlap detected; remove one of the images. Of course "excessive" - they're all almost in the same place. No averaging? /* and images are not actually aligned */.
Proceeding to experiments with enblend/panorama_tools/ale.
On a Debian system, I installed Adobe Acrobat Reader using the Linux binary (AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin) downloaded from Adobe's website. I realized there's a way to install it from a Debian package as opposed to Adobe's binary (and be able to keep up better with security updates), so I want to remove Adobe's version and install the Debian package. What's the right way to uninstall Reader when it was installed this way?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI downloaded Adobe Air, both the rpm and the .bin versions. First I tried the rpm, it went through the motions of installing but just disappeared. then I tied the .bin, got tot the installer, accepted the license, entered my root password, but it stopped installing with "an error occurred. Adobe AIR could not be installed. Install either Gnome Keyring or KDE KWallet before installing Adobe AIR". I opened Kwallet and tried again, but to no avail. I am running OS11.4 64 bit. What can I do to get this thing working?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHow to install Dreamweaver CS4 and Fireworks CS3 on Ubuntu 9.10 It's the first post I make here. I completly switched to Ubuntu some weeks ago and I like it, the only problem untill some minutes ago was Fireworks (I work as web designer from time to time) something that cannot easly be replaced. I post here the solutions I've found and tried:
Index
- Dreamweaver CS4
- Firefox CS3
- Flash....
- Virtual Machine (Get Windows on Ubuntu and then install Macromedia and everything else)
Install Dreamweaver CS4 I looked on Google and I've found this guide works perfectly:[URL]..on my Ubuntu 9.10 (with Dreamweaver CS4 , V10.0 , Built 4117) works very well. I just copy and paste the guide to make things easier Build world-class websites and applications with one of the industry's leading web authoring tools. Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 software is ideal for web designers, web developers, and visual designers. Manipulate pixel-level designs in Design view, or craft complex code in Code view while working in the real browser environment of Live View. There is no linux version for Dreamweaver, but there are many open source alternative for this product like Kompozer, bluefish
[Code]...
I discovered a nice feature of Virtual Box: you can save the virtual machine on an external harddrive. So now that I've got 1 Terabyte HD, I just moved all my macromedia software and officethe VBOX. For the installation just google "Vbox ubuntu" and you will get the instruction. Just an information: if your external harddrive is FAT 32 or something else I would format it with NTFS fylesystem, otherwise you will get problems with filesize limits!!!
I started tinkering with a Linux server setup at home. Mainly just web serving and FTP for now. It's running apache2 and vsftpd. I signed up for a dyndns.org account so I can do web work while away from the house.
I would like to FTP into the server via Dreamweaver to upload files once done working with them. Then use a browser to http to the live page to see the outcome.
Well, I ran into a couple of issues:
1. Connection via FTP worked fine, but could not show the contents of /var/www in Dreamweaver. I did some research and sounded like a rights/permissions issue. So I made my account part of www-data group and made www-data owner of everything under /var/www. That allowed me to display the contents of /var/www in Dreamweaver, work with the files, uploade them, etc.
2. Then issue #2 came up: when I opened the browser and tried to display the page, I received a 403 Forbidden message from the server. So I changed the ownership of /var/www back to root. That allowed me to display the page in the browser, but now FTP is broken in Dreamweaver.
So I need to find "balance to the force" here. How can I configure /var/www so that it allows me to upload/update/erase/create files while still allowing a browser to display the page(s) of the site?
